[00:00:10] iamlindoro: since 11.04 went out "by default" with a version of .24 with a patch applied that causes trouble for ivtv and v4l cards
[00:03:00] lwizardl: i have just done a fresh install of the 11.04
[00:03:39] iamlindoro: So, step one is install the Mythbuntu PPA and get to current .24-fixes
[00:04:01] iamlindoro: because the out-of-the-box version of mythTV included in that will not work properly with ivtv (pvr-150) or v4l cards
[00:04:14] lwizardl: ah ok
[00:05:07] lwizardl: got a guide for doing that?
[00:05:44] sphery: Diverdude: now that you found the right channel, the answer to your other question is to wait for 0.25--and then you'll be able to change the font face/size for subtitles
[00:06:19] wagnerrp: sphery: he asked here first, and then asked there having not gotten a response within three minutes
[00:06:29] sphery: ah, didn't see all that
[00:06:54] sphery: lwizardl: if you don't see the PVR-x50, it's quite likely you're using a too-old MythTV on a too-new distro
[00:07:24] sphery: meaning you need to upgrade to current 0.24-fixes (i.e. http://mythbuntu.org/repos or similar for your chosen distro)
[00:07:49] sphery: ah, but I see that was mentioned...
[00:07:55] iamlindoro: lwizardl: http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos
[00:07:56] lwizardl: sphery, ok I just got the one from the livecd and doing the system updates now
[00:09:16] lwizardl: k
[00:14:41] lwizardl: will the new ppa still new the fw for the kworld card
[00:14:42] lwizardl: ?

[01:59:35] wagnerrp: sphery: you use ext3, do you know off hand how fast an fsck should run?
[02:00:21] tonyb: I have some shows hat are marked to auto expire. After changing the schedule can I just: update recorded set autoexpire=0 where <some cluase>; to make the shows to not autoexpire?
[02:00:57] wagnerrp: best to do it through the UI
[02:01:48] tonyb: wagnerrp: is there a way in the UI to do it for multiple shows? I have 111 shows that I want to update?
[02:02:24] wagnerrp: you might be able to mark a whole playlist to not autoexpire
[02:02:47] wagnerrp: however, you only autoexpire if you run out of room
[02:03:02] wagnerrp: if youre not expiring those, something else will end up deleted
[02:03:57] tonyb: wagnerrp: Thanks. I figured that was the case. My son will cry if I remove anymore of his shows :(
[02:04:58] tonyb: wagnerrp: I know its a bandaid, but I can't get more diskspace until the weekend.
[02:08:03] tonyb: On a (slightly) realted question. Can I update the subtitle and description in the database. The guide data isn't very helpful. I'd like to make some notes if I can.
[02:08:45] wagnerrp: are you using 0.24 or 0.25?
[02:09:21] tonyb: 0.24
[02:10:16] wagnerrp: i dont believe the recording info box allows for manual alteration of recording metadata
[02:10:30] wagnerrp: you can do it manually in the database, but such action is advised against
[02:10:42] wagnerrp: or you can write something using the perl/python/php bindings
[02:12:15] tonyb: wagnerrp: Thanks. I'll look into the bindings.
[02:16:13] wagnerrp: the python bindings make it very easy to import content from the metadata grabbers
[02:16:44] wagnerrp: as in, it only takes a few lines... http://www.wagnerrp.com/wiki/Recorded_supplement.py

[02:53:32] justdave: I just checked my system preferences, and all of the system actions to act on when a DVD is inserted are disabled like they should be (because myth is supposed to be handling it)

[04:02:46] wagnerrp: yeah, concluded there was nothing
[04:03:09] wagnerrp: unless youve found some esoteric feature of portage
[04:03:32] kisak: I'm thinking there is something, but it's in either eapi 3 or 4 (not eapi=2)
[04:04:47] kisak: x11-libs/gnome-pty-helper-0.28.1 possibly has better behavior, although it's not an exact match to what I was looking for
[04:08:58] wagnerrp: i really wish portage had more complete documentation
[04:17:18] kisak: well, I'll mention it again if I come across something definate which can help, otherwise it's just chasing smoke on the wind

[13:51:46] zombor: EvilGuru: ive found the only one i could build on gentoo was .23 in portage
[13:54:36] tom_: Hello all, I'm trying to compile 0.23.1 on a new FE and I'm having trouble. This FE is running opsnSuSE 11.4 with QT 4.7.3.
[13:55:02] tom_: Here is a pastebin of my error, I'd appreciate any help: http://pastebin.com/9RT493BK
[13:58:15] EvilGuru: zombor: I ditched the offending patch and it compiled
[13:58:36] zombor: an, im still on .23, not in a huge rush to upgrade
[13:58:39] wagnerrp: EvilGuru: seems we forgot to remove the patch after it was pushed upstream
[13:59:55] EvilGuru: zombor: I'm just taking my backend to 0.24 now
[14:00:00] wagnerrp: it would only affect people on kernel 2.6.38 or newer
[14:00:08] wagnerrp: which is why ive only seen it reported once before
[14:00:18] zombor: im on .39 :)
[14:00:21] EvilGuru: I was on plain 0.23, but it was getting a pain to maintain
[14:01:16] zombor: this is just a normal overlay?
[14:01:25] zombor: i havent updated to .24 because it's not in portage
[14:01:37] wagnerrp: yes, official one on github
[14:01:38] EvilGuru: 0.23 was from Gentoo, I am now compiling 0.24 from the mythtv overlay
[14:01:52] zombor: maybe ill update this weekend :)
[14:01:56] EvilGuru: no idea if the Gentoo one is still being maintained
[14:02:05] wagnerrp: not exactly
[14:02:15] zombor: why not?
[14:02:37] wagnerrp: doug hasnt been updating his system for some years
[14:02:41] ** EvilGuru is still waiting for the frontend and backend stuff to be split **
[14:02:48] wagnerrp: so he hasnt had anything to test the new builds on
[14:02:56] wagnerrp: EvilGuru: split for what purpose?
[14:03:00] zombor: but if there's ebuilds on github, why not push them up to official portage
[14:03:15] wagnerrp: zombor: well thats the current plan now
[14:03:18] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Just a pain to have to compile the backend when I only use the frontend
[14:03:20] zombor: ah, ok
[14:03:48] wagnerrp: EvilGuru: only if youre trying to do so on some POS Atom, and then only if youre not using ccache
[14:05:28] wagnerrp: as a test, compiling the backend on -j4 on a 3.3GHz dual core takes a whopping 15 seconds
[14:05:48] zombor: O_o
[14:06:00] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Is that from a make clean?
[14:06:05] wagnerrp: yes
[14:06:11] zombor: iirc, compiling on my i3 took at least 15 minutes
[14:06:17] wagnerrp: make clean, and then make, in programs/mythbackend
[14:06:40] wagnerrp: technically, you could omit mythfilldatabase too, another couple seconds
[14:07:57] wagnerrp: EvilGuru, zombor: not compiling the backend means just that, not compiling that one application
[14:08:04] wagnerrp: there is really little code in the individual applications
[14:08:07] wagnerrp: its all in the shared libraries
[14:08:13] zombor: doesn't matter to me, i've gotta compile it all ;)

[14:09:40] wagnerrp: in comparison, mythtv is around 1.25M lines of source, plus another .7M or so for the FFMPEG include
[14:10:47] clever: i remember the longest stage in 'make' for me, was the svnversion pass, scanning every directory to check its revision
[14:11:07] clever: but now that its git, that should be solved
[14:11:27] wagnerrp: svn version should not have needed to scan every directory
[14:11:59] wagnerrp: EvilGuru: right now, the only thing you would really get from breaking apart the frontend and backend is better tuned dependency lists
[14:12:03] clever: it recursively scans everything within the working directory to see if any directorys have a different revision then the top one

[14:31:05] EvilGuru: Do 0.24 and 0.24.1 use the same protocol?

[14:32:47] EvilGuru: Okay, as 0.23 => 0.23.1 changed, IIRC
[14:32:54] EvilGuru: and 0.21 seemed to have two protocols going for it
[14:33:23] wagnerrp: correct, 0.23.1 was a specific fix that required a protocol update, which in turn requires a new version

[14:44:08] wagnerrp: nope
[14:44:30] brushhead: can someone explain the use of a slave and master backend please?
[14:45:24] wagnerrp: all backends record off tuners and serve up videos to frontends
[14:45:39] wagnerrp: the master backend runs the scheduler, housekeeper, and a handful of other additional tasks
[14:46:06] brushhead: yeah, i got that.....so if I have slave backends with tuners, then the recording will end up on the master backend?
[14:46:10] wagnerrp: if you need more storage or tuners than can fit in the single master backend, you add those to one or more slave backends
[14:46:50] wagnerrp: if you have a slave backend with tuners, its recordings will end up on where ever you told the slave backend to record to
[14:47:03] wagnerrp: whether that be local disks, or an NFS mount to the master backend's disks
[14:47:22] brushhead: right....if I do it via nfs to my master backend that's fine....
[14:47:34] brushhead: but the master backend database will not show those recordings to other clients?
[14:47:45] brushhead: or rather make them available in the recorded tv section
[14:47:45] wagnerrp: there is no 'master backend database'
[14:47:50] wagnerrp: there is just 'the database'

[14:48:43] brushhead: ok....
[14:48:51] wagnerrp: meaning that your mysql server be set up to accept connections from all your frontends and backends over the network
[14:48:56] brushhead: so there is a database which lives only on the master backend yes?
[14:49:10] brushhead: the slave backends talk to the database on the master be?
[14:49:12] wagnerrp: it can live anywhere you want, but most people run it on their master backends
[14:49:22] brushhead: yes i got that...
[14:49:52] brushhead: but there is only one database for the whole chain of slaves and f/e's?
[14:49:57] wagnerrp: correct
[14:50:12] wagnerrp: one database existing on one database server

[14:52:45] brushhead: are you a dev then?
[14:52:50] wagnerrp: yes
[14:53:03] brushhead: ah right....how much are you responsible for?
[14:53:18] brushhead: i've experience with C++ but it's such a behemoth that I have no idea where to start
[14:53:38] wagnerrp: currently, the python bindings
[14:54:10] brushhead: i've been playing with multicast are ages suing mythtv
[14:54:15] wagnerrp: to a lesser extent, the backend protocol, the jobqueue, and some utility stuff like the system() implementation, and command line parser
[14:54:17] brushhead: got some encouraging results too

[14:55:25] brushhead: sorry yes, fingers too fast and not accurate
[14:55:43] brushhead: i've been doing things with multicast IPTV on myth...streaming DVB-T here in uk
[14:55:48] brushhead: and presenting it with myth
[14:56:04] brushhead: using the network recorder tuners
[14:56:05] wagnerrp: as in, having myth output video over multicast?
[14:56:15] wagnerrp: or recording using the multicast IPTV tuner
[14:56:31] brushhead: well everything actually...presenting live and tv and recording
[14:56:34] EvilGuru: Hmm, when running the 0.24 frontend on my MacBook there appears to be no deinterlacing
[14:56:42] brushhead: i'm trying to get it to a point where it could be used in hotels

[15:02:36] brushhead: yes myth is completely vod agreed
[15:03:09] brushhead: but i had the idea of putting together aplug in (for hotels don't forget) to allow the viewing of pay vod...ordinary tv would be free as you might imagine
[15:03:27] brushhead: complete with PVR functionailty
[15:03:48] wagnerrp: well first off, think about this legally
[15:04:04] wagnerrp: there are some legal issues with receiving broadcast tv and rebroadcasting for a commercial cable system
[15:04:09] wagnerrp: even if its inside a hotel
[15:04:42] brushhead: yes that would be a consideration...
[15:04:42] wagnerrp: normally you either buy a special service from the cable company, or license the satellite feeds directly and set up your own headend
[15:04:56] brushhead: yes...there is sicu a system for domestic tv here in the uk
[15:05:05] brushhead: sicu = such
[15:05:07] EvilGuru: Hmm, why would live tv not be deinterlaced?
[15:05:18] brushhead: deinterlaced?
[15:05:21] EvilGuru: I've set yadif to be my sole deinterlacing filter
[15:05:32] wagnerrp: it may be different in the uk, considering you are paying the BBC tax per-television
[15:05:44] wagnerrp: i dont know
[15:05:50] brushhead: that's right...there is a different tv licence for hotels
[15:05:54] wagnerrp: certainly something to hash out before spending any money
[15:06:00] EvilGuru: With 0.23(.1) deinterlacing was working, however with 0.24 it isn't
[15:06:02] brushhead: oh yes i completely agree
[15:06:26] wagnerrp: how large would this installation be?
[15:06:41] brushhead: well because it's multicast it could scale to be something quite large
[15:06:48] wagnerrp: a couple sets? a couple dozen? hundred?
[15:07:05] brushhead: depends on backend capacity obviously
[15:07:31] brushhead: if you're running local backends on each set
[15:07:56] brushhead: then response times become much better
[15:07:57] wagnerrp: well if youre running a dozen or more sets, i wouldnt bother with multicast or livetv at all
[15:08:27] wagnerrp: have one tuner per channel, and rewrite the scheduler to simply record everything
[15:08:42] brushhead: can that be done?
[15:09:04] wagnerrp: as it stands, the scheduler is not designed for 'record everything'
[15:09:15] brushhead: no that's what I though
[15:09:17] brushhead: t
[15:09:18] wagnerrp: it would work, but since it would be scheduling each individual show
[15:09:22] wagnerrp: it would be inefficient
[15:09:43] wagnerrp: and considering its a single threaded task, running before every recording
[15:09:43] EvilGuru: "FilterManager: Failed to load filter 'yadifdeint', no such filter exists"
[15:09:48] wagnerrp: that would add up to quite a bit
[15:09:51] EvilGuru: where should I report such a frontend bug?
[15:10:02] EvilGuru: as it is for the Mac version so is probably nothing to do with mythtv
[15:11:05] brushhead: yes it would be....
[15:11:21] brushhead: anyway, have to go and take my daughter out now...thank you...
[15:11:24] wagnerrp: anyway, IMHO, that would be the simplest solution
[15:11:39] wagnerrp: get one or more backends, depending on however many tuners you need
[15:11:49] wagnerrp: and hook the whole thing up to a SAN with a few dozen TB
[15:11:49] brushhead: yes better idea
[15:12:09] wagnerrp: record all tv, all the time, keep maybe a week of everything, a month of primetime shows and movies
[15:12:46] wagnerrp: now the backend protocol is not likely to scale to dozens of frontends even on a beefy machine
[15:13:15] wagnerrp: so there would need to be something implemented to balance the frontends across multiple backends

[16:38:44] EvilGuru: I know dsp is kind of naff, but given that PA is killed by mythtv, there is only going to be mythtv outputting audio
[16:39:19] wagnerrp: right, but /dev/dsp is just an OSS output emulated by ALSA
[16:39:32] wagnerrp: the fact that it works means ALSA works

[17:02:24] sphery: wagnerrp: btw, did you see that Atom-based servers are 4x more power efficient than Xeon :) – http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/30/seami . . . chmark_test/
[17:02:54] sphery: (they're saying that's the case for Hadoop workloads)
[17:03:21] sid3windr: which are mostly I/O perhaps? :)
[17:03:34] sphery: heh, that would make sense
[17:03:59] sphery: so the morale of the story, "If you don't need any CPU resources, the Atom is a perfect CPU"
[17:04:06] sid3windr: I'm just guessing
[17:04:09] wagnerrp: sphery: no, they were able to cut their recurring costs by 74%
[17:04:12] sid3windr: isn't hadoop some kind of database :)
[17:04:32] wagnerrp: because they paid a big chunk down on hardware
[17:04:34] sphery: oooh, that's /very/ annoying
[17:04:46] wagnerrp: and now only had to pay power and cooling costs
[17:04:54] wagnerrp: rather than cloud server fees
[17:05:16] sphery: if I bring up a new window and try to go to the same page (that's already displayed on a tab in a window on another virtual desktop), FF5 closes the new window on this desktop--it expects me to go find the existing tab
[17:05:46] wagnerrp: yeah, i dont like that 'switch to tab' thing
[17:05:47] sphery: ah, it was a "Switch to Tab" "link" in the Awesome Bar--so if I choose the right one, it works
[17:05:58] sphery: yeah that was my first notice of it
[17:06:06] sphery: would like a "move tab here" link, though
[17:07:05] sphery: wagnerrp: but the chart shows 0.880 KWh for the SeaMicro vs 3.387 KWh for the Xeon...
[17:08:42] sphery: basically the 2nd half of the story, starting with: "On another Hadoop-related deal that SeaMicro won, the company can't talk about who the customer was but can talk about the benchmarking process it used to win the deal and what the results were."
[17:09:01] wagnerrp: the 5630 is a 40W processor, so for 650 seconds of operation at absolute maximum power, youre looking at 1.1kWh

[17:10:08] sphery: they said 76 dual-socket, quad-core L5630s were required to complete on time
[17:10:14] wagnerrp: another 320Wh for those extra disks
[17:11:21] wagnerrp: youre just not going to suck up 11kW on chipsets and memory
[17:12:02] sphery: ah, yeah--I forgot the x2 because it's dual socket
[17:12:09] wagnerrp: thats 150W per box
[17:12:12] sphery: was wondering why I was half your calcs
[17:12:58] wagnerrp: eating up 80W on your processors, and another 200W on extra crap, on a network intensive benchmark is retarded
[17:13:14] sphery: heh
[17:13:28] wagnerrp: mapreduce tasks require a LOT of communication
[17:13:36] sphery: so a properly-designed Xeon system would be better?
[17:13:52] sphery: like many-socket versus dual? or > quad core?
[17:14:10] wagnerrp: so the high bandwidth, low latency toroidal interconnect in the Atom "supercomputer" gives it a huge advantage
[17:14:11] sphery: but like you said, if it's mainly just I/O...
[17:14:46] wagnerrp: remember when i said the hardware in that thing would put it around $50k, and a high speed interconnect would make it closer to $150k?
[17:14:51] wagnerrp: thats exactly what it gets you
[17:15:23] wagnerrp: if you filled your Xeon servers with quad socket systems, or 8/12-core chips
[17:15:24] sphery: heh
[17:15:30] wagnerrp: and linked them all up with infiniband
[17:15:45] wagnerrp: you would destroy the little Atom box
[17:15:49] sphery: nice
[17:15:59] sphery: but then you wouldn't sell any SeaMicro servers
[17:16:25] sphery: (and since The Vulture seems to be getting commissions or something, the way they talk it up...)
[17:16:26] wagnerrp: but you bottleneck them on dinky gigabit ethernet, and youre going to sit there twiddling your thumbs waiting on communication
[17:16:46] wagnerrp: they probably would have done better buying higher speed single socket Core2s
[17:17:11] sphery: besides, next year, people will be building boxes with loads of the 4.5W TDP Brazos chips ;)
[17:18:26] sphery: (rumor has it that Brazos will halve the energy usage of the AMD Zacate procs--so the 9W ones will be 4.5W and the 4W...)
[17:19:23] sphery: (and, yes, I'm completely ignoring the "app power" claims of 2W for it)

[18:02:49] wagnerrp: there have been several complaints about that but most people dont suffer it
[18:03:00] wagnerrp: we havent figured out the cause or the setup that it results from
[18:04:06] EvilGuru: I'll try one of my other DVB-T tuners to see if it is the same

[18:05:42] wagnerrp: at current, there is no ticket
[18:05:51] wagnerrp: as any ticket would be useless 'make this better'
[18:06:58] sphery: tgm4883: yeah, what wagnerrp said... I still contend it's low-level stuff on certain distros--like V4L subsystem or drivers or something
[18:07:14] wagnerrp: what i said?
[18:07:29] sphery: and we're doing the right thing--we just don't get any data from the card, so we don't write any
[18:07:52] sphery: wagnerrp: the several complaints but most people don't see the proble and havne't figured out cause
[18:08:15] sphery: though maybe you were talking to EvilGuru--in which case your comments were equally applicable
[18:08:23] wagnerrp: that was actually the issue with the several second delay while changing programs on the same channel

[18:15:53] sphery: complaint came in
[18:16:22] sphery: at least he didn't ask for a per-video source setting to make his misconfiguration work
[18:16:33] sphery: actually, "work" should be in quotes, there
[18:17:41] wagnerrp: i was about to say... couldnt you write a wrapper that loops through mythcommflag on each source individually
[18:17:49] wagnerrp: rather than have it loop internally
[18:18:07] sphery: yeah, but I don't want to recommend that
[18:18:08] wagnerrp: erm... mythfilldatabase

[18:19:04] sphery: we don't need more channel/video source setup option, IMHO

[18:19:25] wagnerrp: there would be nothing to figure out, it does 'the right thing'
[18:19:32] wagnerrp: as predicted by your previous behavior
[18:19:47] sphery: when is it on?
[18:19:58] sphery: some users scan, then run mfdb to match up xmltvids
[18:20:03] sphery: some users scan, then edit xmltvids
[18:20:14] wagnerrp: if you pull from the listings provider, like with analog or firewire (or cablecard) content, it turns on
[18:20:16] sphery: so we'd need it on for the users in the first approach
[18:20:21] wagnerrp: if you scan, it turns off
[18:20:27] sphery: that's basically what it does now
[18:20:50] sphery: but on a digital/analog switch
[18:21:13] wagnerrp: oh, he has an analog tuner, and only gets limited channels with it
[18:21:24] sphery: this problem, though is on his HDHR
[18:21:29] wagnerrp: but he doesnt want to limit it on SD
[18:21:39] wagnerrp: the HDHR wont be a problem since it doesnt update anything
[18:21:48] sphery: we always try to match up channels from the lineup (which /typically/ has only the channels that are available on the source) with unconfigured channels in the video source
[18:22:11] wagnerrp: it only matches if it finds a matching station identifier, right?
[18:22:16] sphery: so he has HDHR channels from the scan that aren't configured with an XMLTV ID since SD doesn't provide data for them
[18:22:36] wagnerrp: remove the station id, and it does nothing
[18:22:44] sphery: and it keeps matching them up with channels from his lineup that are only available on other inputs (the analog input or maybe the firewire)
[18:23:16] sphery: it's matching based on channum, freqid+atsc_minor_chan, or atsc_major_chan+atsc_minor_chan
[18:23:52] sphery: but the big misconfiguration is his having not-visbile channels in his firewire source that he can't get on firewire
[18:24:03] sphery: it's actually an abuse of visible
[18:24:15] sphery: which is why I want to give up arguing with him
[18:25:05] sphery: though really, mythfilldatabase --sourceid 4 --remove-new-channels and 2 runs for other sources without --remove-new-channels would work for him
[18:25:32] wagnerrp: we get that information about digital cable channels from SD?
[18:25:44] sphery: just seems an ugly hack, when really, he should be using --remove-new-channels so it doesn't put his not-firewire-accessible channels in his firewire source
[18:30:03] sphery: yeah, based on DB tables for DD data, they seem to provide stationid, callsign, stationname, affiliate, fccchannelnumber, channel (major number), and channelMinor (number)
[18:32:08] wagnerrp: sphery: who could i get to double check mythcommflag command line behavior?
[18:33:12] sphery: I could probably look through some of it
[18:33:17] sphery: though I'm definitely not an expert
[18:33:43] wagnerrp: ive got a patch mostly written that completely redoes main.cpp
[18:33:58] wagnerrp: fixing the queue ticket, and begrudgingly the skipdb ticket
[18:37:02] sphery: heh, nice (though I really hoped we'd remove that skipdb thing)
[18:37:02] wagnerrp: i still dont understand why we have that in the first place
[18:37:07] sphery: agreed
[18:37:22] wagnerrp: i mean if youre using mythtv, then use mythtv
[18:37:24] sphery: it makes our DB init much more ugly
[18:37:29] sphery: yep
[18:37:39] sphery: and if you're not using mythtv then port it yourself
[18:37:42] wagnerrp: and if youre not using mythtv, surely there is a better option than carrying around 200MB of programs and libraries just to flag commercials
[18:37:50] sphery: yeah
[18:38:04] sphery: though pretty sure they're doing make in mythcommflag, only
[18:38:15] sphery: wonder how many libs that saves...
[18:38:23] wagnerrp: 190MB of program and libraries
[18:38:56] tgm4883: sphery, sorry, had a walkup. Best thing we have so far is a user has determined a difference in the logs he has when it works and doesn't work http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11019556&postcount=25

[19:21:03] kormoc: It sounds like a great plan. We'd really like to get unity behind a single tree rather then this split of crap we have now
[19:21:03] Cardoe: I intend on pulling your "stable" builds
[19:21:28] Cardoe: Unfortunately I've got to ~arch the current 0.24 ebuilds you've got.
[19:21:37] Cardoe: The whole rules of Gentoo for straight to stable and such.
[19:21:43] kormoc: I should ditch the experimental flag
[19:21:51] Cardoe: And for some reason not all the parts of libwww-perl are stable in Gentoo either
[19:21:54] Cardoe: So I'll make that happen
[19:21:59] kormoc: snaz
[19:22:06] wagnerrp: we only need libwww-perl5, not 6
[19:22:19] Cardoe: oh
[19:22:24] Cardoe: Well that's an easy tweak then
[19:22:26] wagnerrp: (i think)
[19:22:30] Cardoe: I can test it
[19:22:35] Cardoe: and confirm
[19:22:46] Cardoe: I like how you guys made a bindings ebuild
[19:22:48] Cardoe: That's a good idea
[19:22:56] wagnerrp: well it was a needed idea
[19:23:07] wagnerrp: mythweb wont run without the php bindings
[19:23:29] Cardoe: Well previously you had to install mythtv in its entirely on your web server
[19:23:32] ubIx (ubIx!~ulf@p5DD18198.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:23:48] wagnerrp: previously you didnt need mythtv at all, mythweb was an independent entity
[19:24:11] Cardoe: hmm. So its totally coupled to the bindings. Cool.
[19:24:34] Cardoe: That'll provide an abstraction layer to prevent people from mucking with the protocol directly
[19:25:24] wagnerrp: basically, it was the same thing that happened to nuvexport
[19:25:32] wagnerrp: nuvexport was gutted to create the perl bindings
[19:25:41] wagnerrp: mythweb was gutted to create the php bindings
[19:27:56] wagnerrp: so what are these rules for the stable arch moniker?
[19:28:04] wagnerrp: do you have a link i could read through?

[20:49:40] wagnerrp: ive got a query, "select r.chanid, r.starttime, c.commmethod from recorded as r join channel as c on r.chanid=c.chanid order by starttime"
[20:49:57] wagnerrp: is there any way to get that to display recordings even when there is no matching channel?
[20:50:28] wagnerrp: right now, i have a separate query that i have to do for each recording to get commmethod
[20:51:17] wagnerrp: Beirdo: well with the rewrite, its a handful of lines to get the desired behavior
[20:51:34] wagnerrp: im assuming it wasnt a design decision, more a lapse
[20:51:38] wagnerrp: someone just didnt even think about it

[20:55:11] kormoc: wagnerrp, c.* will just be NULL on missing channels
[20:55:35] wagnerrp: is that special behavior of LEFT JOIN?

[21:00:50] Cardoe: wagnerrp: sorry. I disappeared.
[21:01:54] Cardoe: wagnerrp: the stable mark is set by the various architecture stability groups in Gentoo. Basically for MythTV the x86 and amd64 guys build a test build of MythTV and bring it up and confirm it works and mark it stable.
[21:02:19] wagnerrp: so it just has to build
[21:02:31] Cardoe: wagnerrp: in your repo, if you want to do a very very basic check (basically what happens before anything is committed to Portage) run "repoman check"
[21:02:51] Cardoe: wagnerrp: They build it and bring up a backend and go through mythtv-setup
[21:03:05] Cardoe: or I should say run setup and then bring up a backend
[21:03:07] wagnerrp: ah
[21:03:09] Cardoe: no tuners
[21:03:23] wagnerrp: well you cant bring up the backend with no tuners (at current)
[21:03:38] wagnerrp: it will run, but will immediately close
[21:03:56] Cardoe: I think its using an HDHomeRun maybe.
[21:04:01] Beirdo: other than the "dummy" tuner, no?
[21:04:17] Cardoe: I think we've confirmed some "dummy" tuner we can use.
[21:04:54] Cardoe: We use a short MPEG video as well dropped into the configured videos directory
[21:05:01] Cardoe: and confirm it plays via MythVideo
[21:05:20] Cardoe: Its obviously a very minimal test
[21:06:16] j-rod is now known as j-rod|afk
[21:06:17] j-rod|afk is now known as j-rod
[21:06:22] wagnerrp: well there is no longer a mythvideo, but playback can be tested with mythavtest
[21:08:05] Cardoe: I'll have to tinker with that.
[21:08:17] Cardoe: I haven't messed with the test procedures for a long long long time.
[21:08:38] Cardoe: Typically those guys confirm it builds with everything that's marked stable and works
[21:08:40] Cardoe: and passes make test
[21:08:47] Cardoe: if the package has a set of tests
[21:09:04] Cardoe: When it doesn't have a set of tests, we come up with a test procedure.

[22:20:40] Muzer: hmm
[22:21:03] Muzer: just realised Myth's even more limited than I realised at inter-mux recordings
[22:22:04] Muzer: it only "thinks" it has two tuners, so it'll only view/record up to two channels on one mux, even if two of the channels are the same one (ie concurrent recordings with extra time added onto the beginning or end)
[22:26:17] Muzer: which, tbh, is a bit messed up
[22:26:46] Muzer: I think an overhaul is probably required there – it needs to know that channels on the same transport stream (to use the generic name) can be accessed using only one tuner.
[22:27:04] wagnerrp: it only thinks it has two tuners if you only tell it to spawn two tuners
[22:27:13] wagnerrp: it supports up to five, two is default

[22:28:00] wagnerrp: an overhaul would be nice, but the existing system works fine for anything but livetv
[22:28:13] Muzer: should be reserved for actual multiple tuners :p
[22:28:19] wagnerrp: and its not a trivial thing to reconcile with the scheduler
[22:28:32] Muzer: ah, does the scheduler not know about transport streams?
[22:28:59] wagnerrp: the scheduler knows enough that those two tuners must operate on the same transport
[22:29:08] echosyp (echosyp!~echosyp@75.111.181.197) has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
[22:29:14] Muzer: hmm
[22:29:16] wagnerrp: but theres a LOT of code based around a tuner only being able to be used one at a time
[22:29:21] Muzer: ah, right
[22:29:38] wagnerrp: multiple virtual tuners was by far the simple solution to that problem
[22:29:56] wagnerrp: perhaps if we rewrote the whole thing, it could be managed in a more intelligent manner
[22:29:59] wagnerrp: but who has the time
[22:30:12] Muzer: exactly
[22:30:31] Muzer: I was just making sure that other people shared my view that it needs an overhaul if there is time, that I'm not some crazy guy :p
[22:31:01] Muzer: yeah, I assume that would have been coded back in the days of analogue when there was one channel per transport :P
[22:31:09] wagnerrp: i wouldnt say 'needs', but rather 'it would be nice'
[22:31:42] wagnerrp: as mentioned, it only has problems when trying to use livetv
[22:31:51] Muzer: yeah, so, temporary solution would just be to spawn the maximum virtual tuners.
[22:31:53] wagnerrp: and you should know by now how most of the devs feel about livetv
[22:31:57] Muzer: heh
[22:32:14] wagnerrp: however, the more tuners you have, the more tuners the scheduler has to deal with, and the longer you scheduling runs take
[22:32:18] Muzer: well, what if you want to record (1+maximum virtual tuners) streams? A bit of an unrealistic case, I know, but still :p
[22:32:24] Muzer: wagnerrp: oh, I see
[22:32:43] wagnerrp: if you want to record 6 streams on the same mux, well then you have to use two tuners
[22:33:18] Muzer: yeah. Well, fair enough
[22:33:31] wagnerrp: that limit of five is based on issues with underperforming tuner card that struggle pulling large quantities of streams out
[22:33:53] Muzer: My only source other than livetv on my single-tuner card is a very unstable PVR that I rarely use any more.
[22:33:58] wagnerrp: there is good reason beyond just limitations on the scheduler
[22:34:02] Muzer: though I suppose I could try formatting it, I don't think that's ever been done
[22:34:27] Muzer: wagnerrp: oh? I was under the impression that the entire mux was pulled out of the card and dealt with in software. Was that assumption incorrect?
[22:35:05] wagnerrp: you send multiple PID filters to the card
[22:35:13] wagnerrp: and the card only sends back the specific streams you want
[22:35:32] Muzer: oh, didn't realise it was that much in the hardware
[22:40:46] wagnerrp: Beirdo: 800fps commflagging on a 720p file? that cant possibly be right can it?

[22:46:31] Beirdo: MPEG2 is quite fast at commflagging as we can do sampling at half frame size while decoding
[22:46:54] wagnerrp: while decoding? so you only decode a quarter of the image?
[22:46:58] Beirdo: yup
[22:47:01] wagnerrp: i thought subsampling was done after decoding
[22:47:10] wagnerrp: thats pretty cool
[22:47:21] Beirdo: that was the experimental stuff that went in in 0.24
[22:47:41] Beirdo: unfortunately, ffmpeg won't subsample decode H.264
[22:48:27] wagnerrp: well i think ive gotten out all the segfualts
[22:48:31] Beirdo: yay!
[22:48:41] Beirdo: QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'DBManager0' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.
[22:48:45] Beirdo: grrrrr
[22:48:57] Beirdo: dangit, nothing is using the database there. Stop lying to me
[22:49:00] wagnerrp: now i just have to figure out what changes i made in my backend, before moving them to my development branch
[22:49:26] wagnerrp: also, im getting all these "Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit"
[22:49:34] wagnerrp: not a problem, just a nuisance

[22:49:39] Beirdo: you'll get those still
[22:49:41] Beirdo: sometimes
[22:49:53] wagnerrp: i get it like every time
[22:50:00] Beirdo: that happens if the thread that opens the database connection is not the same thread that closes is
[22:50:03] Beirdo: it
[22:50:17] wagnerrp: ah
[22:50:19] Beirdo: so if the thread opening it is not the corecontext thread, you'll get that
[22:50:42] Beirdo: and if you're working with commflag, there's the programupdater that opens one
[22:50:45] wagnerrp: whoops, seems im missing the code to close out the job
[22:51:02] wagnerrp: so if you run the job manually on the command line, the jobqueue never closes it out behind it
[22:51:13] Beirdo: gah
[22:51:14] wagnerrp: leaving the entry running with 99% completed
[22:51:16] Beirdo: that's not good :)

[23:02:50] wagnerrp: Beirdo: 800fps commflagging, 500fps building the seek table?
[23:03:10] wagnerrp: oh, it got picked up by the remote backend, nevermind
[23:03:13] Beirdo: that does seem backwards
[23:03:15] Beirdo: ahh
[23:03:16] Beirdo: OK
[23:03:25] wagnerrp: man, thats quite a hit
[23:03:29] wagnerrp: it does 2000fps locally
[23:03:39] Beirdo: that sounds more like it

[23:22:34] wagnerrp: :P
[23:22:59] Beirdo: hehe
[23:24:18] wagnerrp: ok, pushed... hopefully CRAP!
[23:24:53] J-e-f-f-A: Ok, I know I've been 'off the grid' for a while now, but 2000fps??? Is that using GPU acceleration?
[23:25:53] Beirdo: nope
[23:26:08] Beirdo: that's to rebuild the seek table, and it's purely CPU
[23:26:21] J-e-f-f-A: Jeeze, that's fast.
[23:26:26] Beirdo: yup
[23:26:29] ** J-e-f-f-A is very impressed. **
[23:26:34] Beirdo: it just hums along ;)
[23:27:04] Beirdo: wagnerrp: you fixed skipdb?!
[23:27:06] Beirdo: grrr
[23:27:08] Beirdo: :)
[23:27:12] Beirdo: I wanted to get rid of it
[23:27:22] ** J-e-f-f-A laughs! **
[23:27:25] wagnerrp: the ticket is closed, feel free to lock it and then remove skipdb
[23:27:37] Beirdo: na, it's OK
[23:27:49] Beirdo: we'll rip it out some other decade
[23:31:30] wagnerrp: Beirdo: well in any case, the line he uses will no longer work
[23:31:33] wagnerrp: so he wont be happy
[23:31:48] wagnerrp: (taking iamlindoro's method of passive aggressive discouragement)
[23:32:25] wagnerrp: --video no explicitly means something in videometadata, so database access is enforced
[23:32:32] wagnerrp: if you want --skipdb, you have to use --file

[23:33:05] Beirdo: that sounds reasonable to me
[23:33:47] Beirdo: just more messy code that does us little good, but if it's fixed, it can stay until it gets borked again, and then we revisit the issue
[23:34:36] Beirdo: now, I'm trying to determine WHY mythtranscode contains a ProgramInfoUpdater thread
[23:34:47] Beirdo: that makes zero sense to me
[23:35:07] Beirdo: I guess if you are actually transcoding, it could be sensible, maybe
[23:35:27] Beirdo: but in the fifo modes, etc... it shouldn't be running
[23:35:45] Beirdo: I think that might be why it's saying the db is still in use on shutdown, but I'm not 100% yet
[23:37:13] wagnerrp: J-e-f-f-A: commercial flagging itself was only 800fps
[23:40:31] wagnerrp: in a victory for the world in general, british tabloid is closing after scandal of hacking voice mail account
[23:40:36] Beirdo: what CPU are you abusing there, BTW?
[23:41:16] wagnerrp: 3.3Ghz Phenom II X2
[23:41:21] Beirdo: nice
[23:42:05] Beirdo: 2011-07–07 15:58:35.283320 I [16980/17018] ProgramInfoUpdater mythdbcon.cpp:312 (popConnection) – New DB connection, total: 2
[23:42:08] Beirdo: booo!
[23:42:13] wagnerrp: it was $30 more expensive than the 2.9GHz Ath II i was going to buy, and came with $40 off with a motherboard
[23:42:20] Beirdo: I need to slap this into submission tonight
[23:42:48] Beirdo: not bad, so you got it for $10 off, net.
[23:43:15] wagnerrp: well i ended up in the hole, since it was a more expensive motherboard too
[23:43:31] Beirdo: fair enough
[23:44:04] Beirdo: heh, thanks for cleaning up the cerrs :)
[23:44:04] wagnerrp: but it was either a cheaper board with only one PCIe slot and no onboard video (meaning no video since my raid card takes up that slot)
[23:44:28] wagnerrp: or a crossfire board with onboard video
[23:44:38] wagnerrp: yeah, that was the strange 'CRAP!'
[23:44:45] Beirdo: heh
[23:44:54] wagnerrp: right as i hit push, i rememebered about those
[23:48:37] Beirdo: OK, this should tell me how it's getting started up
[23:48:46] Beirdo: I put assert(0);
[23:48:48] Beirdo: heh
[23:48:53] Beirdo: die HARD.
[23:49:20] wagnerrp: ER
[23:49:28] Beirdo: that too :)
[23:49:39] Beirdo: then I can use the core, Luke.

[23:56:19] tlhiv: hi folks ... when i go to "Media Library->Listen to Music" it starts playing automatically and i would like for it to wait until i select the song i would like to play
[23:56:30] Beirdo: it's the "MarkAsInUse" that's requiring it
[23:56:32] Beirdo: duh
[23:57:18] Beirdo: which means I am likely exiting while it's trying to mark the show as NOT in use
[23:58:59] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: wow... 800fps commflagging?!? Now if we could just h.264 faster... ;-)
[23:59:37] Beirdo: tell me about it
[23:59:47] tlhiv: basically, when i choose "Listen to Music" i would like to be presented with a directory tree and when i select the song that i want to play, i would like for it to play that song and every successive song in that albumn directory
